The Dancing Mind and the Work of Justice brings together, for the first time, Emilie M. Townes’s most influential essays in womanist ethics, public theology, and moral imagination.
Across four decades of scholarship and leadership, Townes has reshaped Christian ethics by centering everydayness, embodiment, and the cultural production of evil, while insisting that ethical reflection remains accountable to lived experience and public responsibility. These essays—drawn from journals, edited volumes, and newly revised lectures—offer a coherent vision of womanist ethics as both method and practice.
Written with clarity, rigor, and prophetic imagination, this volume is ideal for graduate courses in theology and ethics, seminary classrooms, clergy formation, and readers seeking thoughtful engagement with religion in public life.
